As of October 20, 2009, CHRISTUS Foundation for HealthCare is happy to report that this year's Nun Run has generated $82,000 and donations are still coming in. There were more than 370 ride participants, numerous cheerleaders and volunteer supporters. What a great turn-out! The Foundation could not have pulled off such a successful event without all of YOU!

2010 Nun Run proceeds benefit the children and families of CHRISTUS school based clinics. Your donation helps provide flu vaccines, health education and screenings, back-to-school supplies and the promise of a brighter Christmas.

Special Thanks

CHRISTUS owes a huge thanks to the Blue Knights for safely leading our bikers along the way to Galveston and JSC Space Riders and Retreads for partnering with us. Another huge thanks is due to Linda Macdonald for writing a hilarious script for the Sisters to taunt Mattress Mack and the Cardinal - which brought in more than $3600.

Thank you to our emcees, Jim McIngvale "Mattress Mack" of Gallery Furniture and Craig Lake with Dignity Memorial.

Thank you to the bands, as well. Easy Money did an awesome job getting everyone up and moving on the Villa parking-lot-dance-floor and thank you Johnny and The Spinsations for getting the Moody Gardens crowd up and dancing!

Thanks you to the many VOLUNTEERS - your help ensured one of the best Nun Runs yet!

Thank you Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, Houston for once again opening your home to the Nun Run. We also thank you Cardinal Daniel Dinardo, D.D., S.T.L. and Archbishop Emeritus, Joseph A. Fiorenza, D.D. for being such good sports during the skit and for THE special request for such a beautiful day as well as the blessing of our bikers.

Congratulations to Kathie Brady of Dignity Memorial, recipient the of the 2010 Vince Award.
